As technology continues to be a major player in the field of education, teachers and administrators are often forced to quickly adapt to the ever-changing world of apps and updates swirling around them. This workshop will help educators understand and navigate some of the most impactful ideas centered around using technology to enhance student learning.
Participants will learn about differentiating appropriately using technology, flipping the classroom through technology, positive behavior supports with technology, parent communication using technology, math and reading strategies that utilize technology, and more. No matter your level of access to technology (from a one-to-one school initiative to one computer lab shared by 8 grade levels), join us so you can stay on the cutting edge of current trends in integrating technology in classrooms!
